Help! Do I pre-treat my cells with cycloheximide when I'm trying to run a time course experiment and use it to inhibit protein synthesis? :Q

My biologist GF pretty much said to do your own research and ask your lab instructor if you don't know.
"If he knows how to pretreat cells he should know how to ask a lab worker if it works unless he is doing some retarded experiment by himself."

Hehe
Sorry.

Jzero, does your GF know how to do it??! I can't ask my lab instructor, coz she told me to look it somewhere and I can't find it anywhere.

She either knows how to do it or knows where to find out, but she seemed unwilling to tell me how :( Sorry!

I think you just add it all to a mayonaise jar, shake it up, and throw it against a wall. That should inhibit something.
